When the cold wave hit, eating hot pot on the charcoal stove, boiling tea around the hearth, and taking hot baths for a long time have become the "top priority" in the daily life of citizens. However, when it comes to keeping warm, a "killer" is easy to be ignored by everyone.
Zhu Ruifang, Director of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Department of Huizhou Central People's Hospital: Ninety-seven percent of the poisoned patients are because they use the obsolete in-line water heater in the small and closed bathroom when taking a bath, and do not turn on the exhaust fan. There are also a few cases where it is very fashionable to make tea around the hearth.
According to doctors, carbon monoxide poisoning is poisoning caused by inhalation through the respiratory tract when the products of carbon-containing substances are incompletely combusted. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, and is not easy to detect, and the carbon monoxide content in the air is 004%-0.06% of the time, it can poison people.
Zhu Ruifang, Director of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Department of Huizhou Central People's Hospital: It is even more undesirable to burn charcoal for heating, and the side stove must not be burned in a closed space.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is not a joke, and patients with mild poisoning have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and weakness of limbsIn moderate or severe cases, coma can occur and become life-threatening, resulting in death. Doctors say that carbon monoxide poisoning is the focus of prevention, and what should be done in case of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Zhu Ruifang, Director of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Department of Huizhou Central People's Hospital: Open the doors and windows, move the patient to a well-ventilated place, pay attention to keeping warm, and open the collar to ensure breathing. If there is a coma, pay attention to the aspiration of vomit, tilt the head to one side, and remove the vomit from the mouth. While dialing 120 emergency services**, while doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, be sure to send the patient to a medical unit with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for treatment.
